Since it first launched many moons agao, we’ve seen this Sony soundbar system pop up alot during sales events such as Black Friday. It’s returned to once again tempt money away from shoppers’ wallets.
Given how often it appears in sales, we view this as a sign of its popularity. After all, it’s not as if Sony would continue to keep making them if this soundbar system was a dud.
The Sony HT-S40R 5.1 surround system was priced at £350 when it first launched, and the price has fallen again to £229, saving you £120.
Usually the HT-S40R hovers around £299 when not at full RRP, so you can save yourself an extra £60. It’s not the cheapest we’ve seen the S40R go for in 2025, but it’s not far off (a mere £5 difference).

What do you get for £239? There’s 600W of power funnelled through its 5.1 channels of audio, so this soundbar is guaranteed to make a big noise from its speakers, perfect for those in need of some cinematic heft from the TV series and films.
It’s a wireless system so you won’t be tripping up on cables, with a wireless amplifier tasked with connecting the main bar, subwoofer and rear speakers so they all perform as one.
Having a wireless system makes it easier to place the subwoofer in its prime position for the best bass performance, and placing the rear speakers towards the back of the room for the best sense of immersion. The rear speakers aren’t battery powered though, so they will need plugging into a power socket.
You’ve got HDMI ARC, optical, USB and analogue inputs for connecting sources to the soundbar, and it comes with Bluetooth support so you can wirelessly stream music from a mobile device.
The Sony HT-S40R is not a surround system we’ve had the fortune of reviewing but from the consensus on Amazon reviews, customers have praised the ease of setup, build quality and sound quality.
Bag yourself this early Black Friday deal and you could be one of those reviewers praising the HT-S40R for exactly the same reasons.
